This season I’ve continued to tweak the format of the waiver wire list, so pay attention! I’ve organized it by position now, since that probably makes more sense when you’re trying to fill a particular position. In terms of the color coding: green are guys to target, yellow are guys that are less-than-spectacular, but you can plug-in if necessary, and red are one-hit-wonders you can ignore.

I’m in the Championship game!! Thanks for all your good info!! Two quick questions…… Should I play Julio Jones over any of these players this week?….. Dez Bryant, Larry Fitzgerald, or Steve Smith (Car)….. and which defense? Seattle or Detroit??? Thanks again!

I agree. I believe my leagues do it too. I dunno tho its never happened. I’m just saying why would you drop Cruz and Harvin regardless of whether your still playing or not? Must not be a keeper league?

hi guys! thanks for all the advice! crucial championship week 16 decisions – been playing DST by WW this year w/ decent results.. in one league yards dont count, in the other they do.. how would you rank these options? Bengals (vs ARI), Titans (vs JAX), Redskins (vs MIN), Seahawks (vs 49ers) in both scenarios.. thanks!

I’m in the championship game this week (thanks in due part to your advice throughout the year!) and I’m concerned about the Jets on defense. I’ve had my eye on Tenn (vs. Jac), Wash (vs. Minn), and KC (vs. Oak). Which of those three do you think are the best? Or should I stick with the Jets this week?

What r ur thoughts on ryan grant this week? I know it depends on starks’ status (which is??) but even if starks plays, you think this guy has a chance of having a bigger role with the 2TDs he had last week?

I’m torn between him and James Jones for a flex spot now that Greg Jennings isn’t playing.

How has Tebow been scoring in your league? In one of my leagues that doesn’t reward as much for his running he’s not a great starter, but if they get a lot of points for rushing yards, he could be a great/scary/risky/awesome play against the Patriots. He’ll be the most fun to cheer for, that’s for sure (and that’s coming from a Patriots fan!) Because of the sheer unpredictability of what the heck he’ll do against NE though, I have him one spot below Vick on my rankings. Good luck however you go!

He does not score much but we def get points for every 15 rushing yards. Tebow usually has one good quarter and that is in the 4th … Only thing vick scares me is getting hurt and then i have no qb for the rest of the game. If i sit him, i’m scared he could put up 30is points. which is very possible for vick.. My opponent has brees of course…

I am in a league that doesn’t allow TE as flex. I have Graham and Gronkowski. I am first place in my league but just lost Fred Jackson for the year. Wondering if I should trade Gronkowski or Graham. Someone said they will accept Gronk and Dez Bryant for Cedric Benson or I could trade Graham straight up for either DeMarco Murray or Frank Gore. What should I do?

Which one would you take? Gore seems to have the tougher schedule playing Arizona, PITT, SEATTLE in playoffs and Murray plays NYG, TB, Philly. Think Gore has bigger ceiling but the 49ers are up huge in their division and may rest Gore and he always gets injured. What do you think?

I don’t think I would. Look at Hillis’ schedule for the rest of the year…pretty scary stuff with two games against both the Ravens and Steelers. Smith should be back in a week or so. Not really high on either of them though to be honest.

Brandon- Phillip Rivers is killing me? If I don’t do something about it this week I may be out! Of course I face a guy with Aaron Rogers this week. I have Carson Palmer on my bench, but Vince Young and Alex Smith are available and projected to get more points. Do I pick up any of those guys or stick with Rivers?

That’s a tough one. None of them have especially great match-ups. I like Palmer the most of the crew I guess, with the hope that one or both of Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford can play. That being said, I still think Philip Rivers has the highest upside of the group, just based on his receivers, but you might be fed up enough with him to keep him on the bench this week. Good luck either way!

My other dilemma involveds my RB’s. I have McFadden and Bradshaw. Both have injuries and not sure if the will play. Is it worth it to drop one of them and go for Beanie Wells? It looks like he’ll play. Ugh injuries! Lost Fred Jackson too!

I would drop bradshaw, even if he does play the Giants have been awful on run blocking, + hes still hurt, and the Packers are going to run the score up quick so NY will have to pass. Thats my thoughts.

I believe the free version allows for two teams. When you click the little symbol next to a player, a little dialog pops up listing all the teams and the status of that player in the league. You configure what teams to use in their options screen on the site. There is a video on their website too: http://www.pickemfirst.com

P.S. I don’t work for them or anything, so it’s not a big deal to me if you use them or not 🙂

Not really. I sense the Patriots scoring a lot of touchdowns down the line so Gostkowski should kick a lot of extra points, but not as many field goals. Same could be said for Crosby though I guess. Either is a solid play though.

Another question. I am still in the hunt for a playoff spot, but the path has shifted a bit with Cutler going down. Who should I pick up/start? 2QB league. Carson Palmer, Kevin Kolb, Sam Bradford, Tarvaris Jackson, Caleb Hanie. Basically, I’m asking, who do you think is the better QB2 (Palmer will e the QB1)

Matt Moore, not in the league in question. He is available in my other league. Would you say Moore>Dalton?

One of the guys in the league just started dropping players from his team for no apparent reason….that’s how Kolb and Bradford became available. I’ve got my waiver wire set to (1) Dropping Jay Cutler for Sam Bradford and (2) Dropping Lance Ball for Caleb Hanie. Who do you think I should start at the QB2 spot of the other 3 (Jackson, Hanie, Bradford)?

If you have studs at every other position EXCEPT Qb, and just lost Cutler, it’s conceivable that a Matt Moore or Andy Dalton could take you to playoffs.

Toby Gerhart should be one of the top pickups, but I’m not incredibly excited given his lack of explosiveness and Percy Harvin stealing carries. For our Waiver Wire advice, and a funny podcast, check out http://www.TheFFMVP.com. Thanks!

No way, keep Chris Johnson. The Titans will continue to start him all season, while with the other guys when the starter comes back (if Jahvid Best plays again this year) they go to the bench. Don’t drop him for a defense either.

For my flex spot, I currently have Sidney Rice… But with just 3 targets last week (luckily one being a TD) I’m kynna reluctant on start him. I picked up Toby Gerhart off FA. Should I start him over Sidney Rice if AP is no good to go?

Who should I start for my RB and Flex. I am a league with 3WR 1 RB and one RB/WR

RB’S:

AP – Hurt
Reggie Bush – Been performing well, but playing Dallas
Mike Tolbert – Did not get a lot of carries last game, but Matthews fumbled so coach may be upset and they are playing Denver, so it should be a running game.
Toby G – AP is out so he is a starter, but they are playing the Falcons who are good aganist the run

WR’s:

Dwayne Bowe – Hurt qb, but targeted a lot. Playing Pitt who does not give up much to receivers
AJ Green – He will play
Julio Jones – Don’t know if he will play
Brandon Marshall – Moore has been on fire, but only had one catch last game
Damian Williams – QB hurt, but was still targeted in the end zone 4 times and is playing Tampa

Please let me know what you think mainly about my flex and weather I should play Damian Williams over Bowe or not.

Don’t need 6 Rbs, and AJ Green was just dropped by an impatient owner… can’t decide who to drop for him, hard to tell how effective Smith will be when not playing Carolina, but don’t want to get burned playing against him in the playoffs, though. Stay put, or drop someone (Tate, Smith, Moore) for Green? (Manningham is out there too). Want to keep both TEs for now (Gonzo & Hernandez) & a backup QB to Cam
